I got my DB coach up to speed on the latest developments. Here are the key takeaways:
1. She thought the apology on Monday night was a fantastic step in the right direction.
2. If she shows positive response to making dinner/breakfast for her, continue. But don't smother her. Keep doing what works. It's OK to let her know that I'm trying to win her back. She would expect nothing less anyways, so don't try to pretend I'm not.
3. Do not mention any concerns about bringing OM to the house while on vacation. Do not ask when I return. Show her trust.
4. No "I miss you" or anything of the sort while on vacation. Focus on how good of a time I'm having and the kids are having.
5. Stop having "deep" conversations with her FIL. Language barrier has led to misunderstandings. Despite what I think he may be telling me, his allegiance will always be with his daughter first.
